(I am 100% sure there are more than 100 blogs having a post like this today..haha)

Malaysia…a little small tiny weenie country in the world, independent in 31 August 1957. This is the most celebrate occasion in this country. This year is the 50th independence year! so woo hoo!! cheers for our country for being independent for half a century!

So..after seeing those celebration in Dataran Merdeka or whatsoever stadium of your own city, what is so damn good about Malaysia? Why should the Britain give us freedom? Why should we shout MERDEKA! like mad man in the middle of the night? and why should someone make a ‘bravo’ slogan like ‘Malaysiaku GEMILANG!’ this year? So…i am going to tell all of you wanderers out there all about it now, except about the normal twin tower menara and eyes on kl things…

First……

We have probably the most ‘fashionable’, ‘trendy’ looking flag, Jalur Gemilang.

Haha..waving in the air….good catch!

Then, what most Malay are proud of…their Bahasa Malaysia..our own language.

A MUST pass language or you will be very sorry. But it is not hard la. We study BM, Kemahiran Hidup, Sejarah, Geography in Malay medium. This language very important you know, cause it was the lingua franca of the Malacca Port in 15th century!

Then, we have the KING OF FRUITS! DURIAN…yumm…it may be as sweet and smells nice if you like it, especially if you are a Malaysian, you should love it. But it may be extremly yucky to others.

See..yummy…liu lian…(*durian)

We also have beautiful sky with rainbow..all the time(no la, but more often than most countries)

Another Take!

In Malaysia, we have a lot of animals and even the most precious ones on earth in our tropical rain forest. But why search until so deep inside, we can even see the cutest ones in our house compound!

Whoa..Free 2 be, a christian concert which can really be called ‘rocking’ while prasing GOD!!! This concert was held every year in Miri. Last year, i didnt go for it. It was held at Dewan Suara. Luckily I didnt go for it cause i heard about people scolding them because everyone was jumping like mad and they are scared if the whole floor will drop down. haha…

This year, it was in Indoor Stadium. I can gurantee we can jump how much we like u ntil our leg patah we are still allowed to jump!! I was lucky enough to buy my ticket early for night 2, 18/8/07.

This year’s speaker is Chris Leong. I think he is the same guy as last time i went to free 2 be.

Whoa, there was really a lot of people going. We grab ourself a good seat and the concert finallt started. But why bother the seat anyway? Once it was started, everyone rushed up to the stage and start to jump like MAD! w I was jumping..like a monkey i think. Hhaaha but who cares, everyone was like that too…:p

We sang lots of songs and the band was really cool. Ian was the ‘MC’ that night. He did really well to bring up the ‘high’ in the concert.

After long time of jumping, singing, shouting…..Everyone was told to calm down and sit back. Then, speaker starts talking. I think he is a mid-age guy lo, but still really cool. he talked ab0ut lots of things about God and has good sense of humour too.

The translater behind him (the bold guy with blue superman shirt) was really nice too. he really translelate everything the guy said. He could think really fast la (even pro than epsilon translation, no offense, John.) , translate everything from english to malay that moment the guy said. That must a gift from God!

Lastly, Rev.Chris Leong prayed for us all. We stand there, hand on friends’ shoulder praying. I heard many girls crying and some boys too. One of them crying so loud and one so…terrible, but, it’s ok, i understand.

Rhino, as every know today, is really an endangered species. We always study: rhino-endangered species, loss of habitat, wanted for horns, Hutan Simpan Endau Rompin. But, when do you really start to take a PRACTICAL action??

Just like we always write in our essays, we need to protect our environment through conservation adn preservation, but when do you really start to do that? after we write about it, we go out of the class, saw a river-throw rubbish in it, saw rubbish – burn in. Inmorallity. But our friend Sumatran Rhino, has no time to wait, for you change your attitude ‘tomorrow’. Actions must be taken today!

I love rhino and i hope you would too. They didnt harm us, so why should we harm them?
